Chauncey Manac, a highly regarded defensive recruit in the Class of 2016, is transferring from the Georgia football program.

His aunt, Beth Leviton, confirmed the decision Tuesday as she was on her way from south Georgia to pick up Manac. She said Manac will transfer to Garden City Community College in Kansas.

“From there I don’t now,” Leviton said. “Right now we have nothing against Georgia. We love them. They’ve taken care of him. And nothing but the best. But he’s wanting to play.”

Manac redshirted last year at outside linebacker, then moved to defensive line this preseason. That was a surprising move; Manac was expected to be on the two-deep at outside linebacker and play this season.

Instead it appears Manac, a 4-star recruit (Clinch County H.S./Homerville, Ga.) who was rated as the 114th overall prospect nationally in the 2016 class, will continue his career elsewhere.

After being benched in favor of Danny Etling last season, Harris transferred to North Carolina in the offseason as a graduate.

In Saturday's game, he played the first two series before giving way to redshirt freshman Chazz Surratt, who completed 18 of 28 passes for 161 yards and one TD. Surratt ran 16 times for 66 yards and one score. Surratt guided the Tar Heels on all three TD drives.

Beckham, from Dayton, Ohio, played one game last season and recorded two tackles. He hadn’t played so far in 2017 and wasn’t listed on Kentucky’s roster ahead of the Wildcats’ game Saturday at South Carolina.

Beckham was a 3-star prospect coming out of high school. He was the 58th-ranked cornerback in the 2015 class.

Strong had 32 carries for 137 yards with 2 touchdowns for Missouri last season, his first with the Tigers. In the spring, he was suspended for a violation of unspecified team rules. A knee injury also bothered him...

Ole Miss DB Deontay Anderson reportedly no longer wants to be a part of the Ole Miss football program.

Per a report from USA Today’s Dan Wolken, the talented safety is seeking an immediate and full transfer release from the program on the grounds of allegedly being misled about the NCAA investigation into the Rebels football program. He is reportedly seeking the ability to be eligible to play next season after voluntarily sitting out this season.

Wolken reports that Anderson’s attorney has laid the groundwork for a claim that Anderson should be eligible to play without sitting out a season, and perhaps at a competing SEC program:

The grounds for his request are notable because Anderson, via his attorney Tom Mars, said he was recruited to Ole Miss under false pretenses and that both former coach Hugh Freeze and athletic director Ross Bjork misrepresented the status of the school’s NCAA infractions case when he signed in February 2016.

If that attorney’s name sounds familiar, that’s because it is the same one who represented former Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt during his very public legal battle with the university over clearing his name from association with alleged NCAA violations that he did not commit. Ultimately, the matter was settled.

Inside Wolken’s report, Mars claims that had Anderson known all the details that came out during the Nutt legal proceedings that he would not have signed to play for the Rebels.

“There’s no doubt about that in my mind,” said Mars, via Wolken’s report. “Like many other parents, I’m sure, Deontay’s parents made sure they were as fully informed as they could possibly be. They’d come too far to turn this decision over to their son so they were part of the process.”

If Anderson is not granted a waiver by the NCAA, he may be forced to sit out the 2018 season. That would leave him with just two years of eligibility remaining...

It's been four years since Luke Del Rio's one season as reserve quarterback. Since then, he's played both at Oregon State and Florida.

Though he was eligible for a sixth collegiate season, the son of Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio opted to call it a career after an injury ended his 2017 season.

Luke Del Rio this week took some time to reflect on his unique college career appearing as a guest on the "On Q" podcast co-hosted by his former Gator teammate Austin Appleby. The interview included some candid talk about his time at Alabama, why he left and included quite a story about a time Nick Saban ended a practice a little early because of the freshman quarterback.

The 18-year old knew he had to get it right. Amari Cooper was his receiver.

"And I launch it," Del Rio said. "I think, 'Oh damn, I overthrew it.' I overthrew it so bad that he stopped running completely, didn't even try to stick an arm out. Just stopped.

"Saban is still walking to get to 40-45 yards and I see the trajectory of the ball and I think 'Oh my God. No, no, no, no, no.' Saban gets to 40-45 yards and boom."

Yup.

"I nailed him right on the thigh," Del Rio continued. "Right next to, you know, that area. I don't hit it. I hit his leg but riiiight about there."

Kentucky junior quarterback Drew Barker will transfer for his graduate season, he announced Tuesday night on Twitter.

“One of the greatest accomplishments of my life was receiving my degree from the University of Kentucky,” Barker wrote. “That is something that I will always take pride in and cherish for the rest of my life. With that being said, I will be exercising the graduate transfer option and will be finishing my Master’s degree and playing my 5th year at another university.”

Cincinnati is a possible destination.

Barker played sparingly this season as Stephen Johnson’s backup. He completed 4 of 7 passes for 49 yards.

Richardson will transfer to a junior college. Richardson, a former 4-star prospect, was Kentucky’s fourth-highest ranked signee in the 2017 class. He was the 42nd-ranked wide receiver in the class.

Maple Heights, Ohio, native spent just one redshirt season with the Wildcats. He’s the fourth player this week to leave, joining transfer announcements from quarterback Drew Barker, running back Bryant Koback and defensive tackle Ja’Quize Cross.

Former Auburn receiver Kyle Davis will be joining up with Lane Kiffin at FAU.

Lawrenceville, Ga., native then missed spring practice last year while handling what Malzahn described as "personal business" before returning to campus in May and rejoined the team on May 17 in time for summer workouts.

Davis was expected to have a major role in Auburn's revamped offense under first-year offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey, but he was suspended for the season opener for unspecified reasons and appeared in just five games before missing the team's trip to LSU prior to his dismissal.

Sophomore edge rusher Sci Martin will transfer from the LSU program, according to media reports. A New Orleans native from McDonough 35 High School, Martin played in five games as a freshman in 2016 and missed the 2017 season with an injury.

Martin would have been stuck in a logjam at B-linebacker in 2018 behind K’Lavon Chaisson, Ray Thornton, Andre Anthony and incoming recruits Jarell Cherry and Travez Moore.

Martin will transfer to East Mississippi Community College, the transfer destination for former LSU quarterback Lindsey Scott Jr. and the location of the Netflix series Last Chance U.

Shea Patterson and Jacob Eason were two very hyped quarterback prospects in the 2016 recruiting cycle. They both ended up picking SEC schools and both started multiple games as freshman.

And now, neither will see their junior year at the school they originally signed with. Patterson was the No. 4 overall prospect in the class, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. Eason was No. 5.

Patterson made the decision to transfer to Michigan following the 2017 season. The NCAA dropped a number of penalties on Ole Miss, including another bowl ban for the 2018 season. Eason, the No. 2 quarterback prospect in the class, announced on Friday that he would be leaving Georgia.

Tennessee quarterback Quinten Dormady plans to graduate and then transfer out of the program.

Dormady, a junior from Boerne, Texas, started the first five games of the 2017 season, leading the Volunteers to a 3-2 record. However, he lost his job to redshirt freshman Jarrett Guarantano following a 41-0 loss to Georgia in October.

Dormady underwent shoulder surgery in late October and missed the remainder of the season. He completed 76 of 136 passes for 925 yards and six touchdowns with six interceptions in 2017.

As a graduate transfer, Dormady would be eligible to play immediately at the school of his choice.

The graduate transfer kicker that visited Alabama this past weekend is joining the Crimson Tide.

Former Temple kicker Austin Jones announced on Instagram Monday afternoon that he's transferring to Alabama.

Jones will compete with redshirt freshman Joseph Bulovas for the kicker job vacated by Andy Pappanastos.

Florida native was regarded as one of the top kickers in the American Athletic Conference before suffering an ACL injury as a junior in 2016. Though Jones was healed for this past season, Temple went with a younger kicker who had earned all-conference recognition in 2016 after Jones got hurt.

Jones was 37 of 45 on field goals the last three seasons at Temple (82 percent), including 23 of 28 in 2015 and 10 of 12 in 2016 before the injury.

Oliver totaled 73 tackles in 23 career games during his career at Oregon. He started the Ducks’ 2017 season opener, but suffered an injury. He decided to transfer during the season, with his expected graduation date in December, so he’ll be allowed to play immediately at Missouri as a graduate transfer.

Alabama is interested in adding a graduate transfer at more than just quarterback.

It's also possible the Crimson Tide could sign a grad transfer defensive lineman. And Preston Gordon from Rice is one of the names to keep an eye on.

Gordon, a three-year starter at defensive tackle for the Owls, left Rice in January and has had some preliminary contact with Alabama.

"If Alabama were interested, that's a top tier program and I would definitely be interested," Gordon told AL.com. "As a D-lineman, that's where it's at, so it would definitely be high, high interest."

Tide is open to adding a grad transfer defensive lineman because of losing three of its top D-linemen from last season and because of only signing two defensive linemen in this year's recruiting class.

Coach Nick Saban mentioned at Alabama's National Signing Day press conference that the Tide will "continue to look and evaluate and see if there's somebody out there that can help us."

Gordon has visited Texas Tech and Kansas. There has also been communication with schools such as TCU, Tulane, Syracuse and Connecticut. And now Alabama.

The graduate transfer tight end from Arizona will be leaving the program that Kevin Sumlin just took over in favor of the program that recently let him go. Due to the NCAA’s graduate transfer rules, Wood is expectedly to be eligible to compete for Jimbo Fisher’s Aggies this fall.

Eli Brown’s decision to transfer came from nowhere given the playing time he saw in his sophomore season at inside linebacker, and Mark Stoops admitted Monday he was at least a bit surprised.

“Yes and no,” Stoops said at his first spring football press conference. “It just depends.”

And then Stoops, who said he wasn’t specifically talking about Brown, spoke quite a bit about the need for accountability.

“We’re going 100 miles an hour right now,” Stoops said. “It’s full force accountability. You better be doing what you’re supposed to be doing 24/7. Some guys are gonna like it, some guys aren’t. Just in general, guys need to lose weight, guys need to gain weight. Certain positions we weren’t big enough last year, and we need to get bigger. We need to get stronger, and they have some personal accountability to do those things whether it’s eating, lifting, going to class, going to tutors — there’s a lot of things.

“As our accountability picks up off the field, it’ll directly affect some of the things we do on the field,” Stoops said. “And I think our team is getting very much improved, and we’re getting closer to that 100 percent we’re striving for, but that’s across the board so you never know how things are gonna go. But with Eli I wish him the best. He’s a good kid. He’s played, he’s helped us, so we wish him the best.”

Brown was undersized at inside linebacker, and while Stoops said he wasn’t directly referring to Brown, the response was at least an indirect reference to him.

The Bowling Green, Ky., native was listed at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds on last year’s roster —

Rice graduate transfer left tackle Calvin Anderson is set to announce where he will spend his final year of eligibility. The 6-foot-5, 300-pounder will make his decision between Auburn, Oklahoma, Michigan and Texas, the perceived favorite.
